English literature GCSE

Arran Cameron
What does the IET and the engineering community think of the English literature GCSE? Is it relevant or beneficial for engineering or is it (like food tech) something that hardly anybody cares about?


English literature is a near compulsory GCSE in England but is now optional in Wales where it has experienced quite a heavy decline in the number of secondary school students taking it.

    In a survey of parents, asking what the most useless and pointless secondary school subject is (not the one that they were worst at or hated the most), English literature was a clear first. Nobody picked English language or ICT.
